Si Lei Zhenjun

When the four arrived at Zhu Yanfeng's office, it was already full of people.

They immediately saw the shrew and her son who had been beaten last night, with a young man and woman standing next to them.

The man is handsome and has a stern expression, while the woman has delicate features, watery eyes, and a pure and gentle temperament, which makes people feel friendly.

In front of them stood a middle-aged man with a square and broad face, wearing a clean and elegant Taoist robe and a meticulously combed bun.

When Zhu Yanfeng saw the four people enter, his face darkened slightly. He looked at the middle-aged man and said:

"Sect Master Qian, the people involved are here. Look for yourself at what your two disciples have done to them. Beating them would have been fine, but they also hung them up in the street to humiliate them. This has brought shame upon our Patrol Immortal Division. What do you think we should do about this?"

Sect leader? Damn, how did they invite the Sect Leader of the Earth Spirit Sect here… This is troublesome. It seems that my good brother’s background is a bit overwhelming… Chu Xing frowned secretly.

"Master Zhu, your words are too serious. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. When I came here, I asked my two bad disciples about the cause of the incident."

Qian Yutang looked calm, pointing at Tang Meng and said:

"It was clearly this man who was aroused by the beauty and intended to commit the crime first, and then they acted in anger. As for hanging him up, it was just to teach him a lesson. How can it be considered humiliation?"

Although he spoke calmly, he was secretly complaining in his heart.

Not long ago, Di Ling Zong was held accountable by the court for the child trafficking incident involving his daughter and son-in-law, Marquis Yongning. It was only after he found people everywhere to help speak well of him in front of Emperor Li and voluntarily donated a large sum of spirit stones to the court that the matter was settled.

Today, his two apprentices gave him the same treatment again, which really made his heart unable to bear it.

Under normal circumstances, the people from the Dongling City Patrol Immortal Division would have fought back. Their leader was just a Dharma-image cultivator, and the Earth Spirit Sect could easily handle him with its size.

But now the number of cultivators in Dongling City is no less than that in the major immortal cities. It goes without saying that the imperial court must have sent experts to take charge.

If the matter really gets out of hand, the high-ranking officials of the imperial court might think that he is resentful of the imperial court for killing his daughter and son-in-law, and deliberately instigated his disciples to humiliate the imperial court in public. Then the entire Diling Sect will have no good days.

Therefore, he can only try to make big things small and small things nothing.

"That's right, why don't you think about your own problems?" Zou Yumei said sarcastically in a sharp voice:

"It's fine if they bully ordinary people, but they actually bullied my Yan'er. They deserved the beating. You probably don't know that yesterday they colluded with the bad guys to bully us orphans and widows. This is what they call "doing too much evil will eventually lead to your own destruction!"

Are you a fucking pig-brained person? You can even say that. It's like admitting guilt without even asking... And what's your status? Don't you have any sense? You have no right to butt in here? ... Qian Yutang cursed inwardly.

If I had known this woman would be so stupid, I would never have let her come with me.

However, a smile appeared on Zhu Yanfeng's face:

"Haha, Sect Master Qian, you and I both know the truth. If we really delve into it, it will only make everyone lose face. What do you think?"

Qian Yutang was slightly startled at first, then he smiled warmly:

"Master Zhu is absolutely right. No matter what, it is wrong for my two useless disciples to attack these two young friends.

As an apology, I can compensate them with 10,000 spirit stones each, and order my two bad disciples to apologize to them in public. Is Zhu Zhangling satisfied with this approach?"

Since the other party is willing to settle the matter peacefully, he will naturally give them a way out.

However, upon hearing this, Zou Yumei immediately became unhappy:

"Sect Master Qian, we are in the right in this matter. We are not afraid of being investigated at all. Why should we compensate them and apologize?"

"Yes, Master, this incident started because they bullied my mother and brother first..." Du Qingyan also echoed in a soft voice.

She has always been proud and arrogant. Ever since she was diagnosed with superior spiritual roots and was accepted as a personal disciple by the sect master, she has become even more arrogant and believes that only the geniuses of the immortal sect can surpass her.

And now asking her to apologize publicly to these two minor officials from the Patrol Immortals Department was even more painful than killing her.

"Shut up!" Qian Yutang shouted, stopping her from continuing. "I'm talking to Zhu Zhangling, so why should a junior like you interrupt?"

"Master..." Du Qingyan's lips trembled, her eyes turned red, and she began to wipe away her tears pitifully.

"Haha, you little green tea girl are pretending to be weak and pitiful and performing tea art? It just so happens that we are not satisfied with the compensation either." Chu Xing sneered inwardly.

He walked forward slowly, bowed and said:

"Chu Xing, a disciple of Yunxiao Sect, greets Commander Zhu and Sect Master Qian. I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should or shouldn't."

"No need to be so polite, young friend Chu," Zhu Yanfeng smiled and waved his hand. "You are also one of the parties involved. There is nothing to say. Feel free to say whatever you want."

Qian Yutang also nodded slightly and looked at him, waiting for the next words.

Chu Xing glanced at Du Qingyan, who was crying bitterly, and seemed a little reluctant:

"Since this sister wants to get to the bottom of this, I think we might as well go through the whole story. Then it will be clear who is right and who is wrong, and it will also prevent anyone from being wronged."

Zhu Yanfeng and Qian Yutang frowned, looked at each other, and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

One of them didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter, and the other didn't want to offend the Earth Spirit Sect, so neither of them wanted to delve into it.

It’s just that the younger generations on both sides have raised objections now, which really makes them feel uncomfortable.

After a brief silence, Zhu Yanfeng sighed and said:

"In that case, Tang Meng, please tell us what happened again in front of Sect Master Qian."

As he spoke, he glanced at Du Qingyan and Jin Wujiu again, and continued:

"If there's anything he said that's wrong, you two can point it out."

"Yes, Master!" Tang Meng hesitated for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Last night, a few of us went to Yipinlou for a drink. Before the dishes were even served, we saw..."

He immediately described the incident in vivid detail: the naughty kid went to another table to eat food, soiled someone else's skirt, and how the bearded man later asked Zou Yumei to discipline the child, but Zou Yumei not only did not apologize, but also threw a tantrum and mocked the person for being ugly...

"In the end, she was beaten up, and she came to question us why we just stood by and watched."

At this point, he was even more angry, looking at Du Qingyan and Jin Wujiu and asked loudly:

"If you were the police and saw this rude and unreasonable bitch being beaten, would you do anything?"

Hearing this, Du Qingyan's pretty face was covered with frost.

She opened her almond-shaped eyes wide, staring at Tang Meng and said:

"But we're not! Maintaining law and order in the city is your duty. If you let someone bully a mother and her child, you're dereliction of duty. Besides, my brother is so young. It was that couple who were just making a fuss out of nothing!"

Qian Yutang glared at her and said, "Just shut up! Don't you think this isn't embarrassing enough?"

At this moment, he felt his face burning and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

When he came, he didn't ask too many questions. He only knew that the cause was that Zou Yumei was bullied, and Du Qingyan beat the person up for her mother. He never thought it was because of this!

He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger:

"Zhu Zhangling, we are indeed in the wrong in this matter. I am willing to compensate them with an additional 10,000 spirit stones each. What do you think?"

"Sect Master Qian," Chu Xing interrupted.

"Forgive me for being blunt, but isn't twenty thousand spirit stones too little?

At the time, they were both beaten so badly that they were breathing in more than out. Just to treat them, I used up two Yin-Yang Great Rejuvenation Pills, and the cost of these pills was 100,000 spirit stones.

They were also hung up for such a long time as a public display. I can't imagine how humiliated they felt at that time. Such an unbearable experience must have left a huge psychological trauma in their hearts!"

Wang Sanyuan also echoed at the right time:

"Yes, Sect Master Qian, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you are the leader of a sect after all. This is a bit too stingy. To be honest, 20,000 spirit stones are not enough for me to go to a brothel once."
